Commissioned by Taiwanese collectibles brand Beast Kingdom in association with Marvel, Royal Selangor released the life-size replica last year in honour of the first Iron Man movie's 10th anniversary.

The statue itself was unveiled in last year's San Diego Comic-Con.

To call the statue a limited edition collectible would be understating it, as there are only 30 units available all around the world. In fact, it is believed that the Malaysian collector bought the last and 30th unit based on the base's numbering.
